Bridge-Mono Hookup - AE Techron LVC 5050 Quick Start Manual

Bridge-Mono Hookup

Bridge-Mono mode is intended for driving loads with a total
impedance of 4 ohms or more (see Section 2.4.3 if the load is less than
4 ohms). Installing the amplifier in Bridge-Mono mode is very
different from the other modes and requires special attention.
To activate Bridge-Mono mode:
1. Turn the amplifier off
2. Wait at least 10 seconds
3. Slide the Dual/Mono switch to the right (as you face the back
of the amplifier).
NOTE: Both outputs receive the signal from the channel 1
input with the output of channel 2 inverted so it can be
bridged with the channel 1 output.
NOTE: The channel 2 input and level control are
disconnected in Bridge Mono mode. A signal-feeding
channel 2 will have no effect on the output.
1. Connect the load across the channel 1 and 2 positive (+)
terminals
2. Attach the positive lead from the load to channel 1.
3. Attach the negative lead from the load to channel 2. (This
cannot be connected to ground, chassis or amplifier, or it will
damage the amplifier.
The negative (-) terminals are not used and should not be shorted. This
cannot be connected to ground, chassis or amplifier, it will damage the
amplifier.
